Well, the answer lies in the answers to these questions: what happens if you do not pay the fee for BBC, a service you do not use? What happens if it is private?

Do not, in the former, you risk getting caged? Whereas if it is a private company, you do not risk your freedom?

I do not like the idea of being thrown into jail for not paying for a service I do not use. I do not use Netflix, and that is fine, it has no dire consequences. What are the consequences of not paying for BBC? Genuinely curious, because I am not sure.
